The hoops to jump through for this are many and complicated, so for most people it's not worth it, but I point this out to show that there is some wiggle room in retirement plans and the restricted transaction code shouldn't deter anyone from using real estate in a 401K.As I've said before: "Don't occupy Wall Street, Escape Wall Street!

Andresa Lobrace The street is all duplexes that look like single-family homes.

The exterior could definitely use refreshing & there is a large tree in the front of the house that blocks most of the house from the street.  

We shut off the electric at the box and water at the street to our homes anytime we are not there.

Hi Martin,I always like to street this to every foreign investor.Spend more time conducting due diligence on the people you are looking at doing business with rather than the actual stats or demographics of a particular area.Its people that will cost you money and not the numbers.Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Many residents, who originally chose their neighborhoods for the mix of single family homes, quiet streets and parking availability, are finding that recent developments are negatively impacting the quality of their communities.Source(s):Reviving the City of Aspiration – Center for Urban Future (http://nycfuture.org/images_pdfs/pdfs/CityOfAspiration.pdf)City to Middle Class: Just Not That Into You (http://observer.com/2009/02/city-to-middle-class-just-not-that-into-you/)

@jesseLike most small cities, a couple of streets can make all the difference in the World.

When picking tenants for them look for working people, singles who are not into drugs & heavy alcohol.  

West of Aramingo puts you too close to the El/Kensington Ave - the hub of drugs/crime.

You don’t cross the street without still looking both ways do you?
